How many of you named your cars? In my.porsche.com there’s a place to set a name. My family voted in the name “broomhilda”, so that’s my car’s name. I wanted “duchess” but the kids said it was too pretentious.

At the prodding of my significant other, I named my 991.2. I chose Clayton because the car was GT Silver and the Lone Ranger's horse was named Silver and the actor playing the Lone Ranger was Clayton Moore. For my 992 I'm sticking with the western theme and going with Joel (after Joel Mcrea....)

I got one in the "oven" with a due date of mid October. Haven't thought of a good name yet-till then it is baby car X. When I finally get to look into her headlights, I will know.........

Stan. Same name for all my 911's.

Now over in Polestar land 'Debbie' seems popular.

I was very careful and I must say, that I thought long and hard about this all so important subject; I refer to my C2S as "The Porsche".

In a play on words—the planned Taycan GTS was going to be named Joules in a reference to energy and Jules from Pulp Fiction…when I went back to a 992 GTS order..my son suggested Winston (Mr. Wolf)…and that stuck…we name all of our cars;-)

Our family car is Lucy and the incoming 911 will be Veronica. At risk of being cancelled, I must insist that all cars are female

I have a 991.2 CS in Voodoo Blue.

Her name is Bluebird.

A nod to Yellowbird.

I use a slight variation…​​​​​​…with “My 911” and “Your Cayenne” along with “The Truck”. She can not drive a MT.
